Okay this is something that I've been thinking about for a while now (my mind wanders when it gets slow at work). A list of TV shows based on movies. Not TV movies or vaguely similar stories
-like Hercules the Legendary Journeys isn't based on Hercules Takes Manhattan even if they share the same main character-
...but honest to goodness spin offs, live action and official. I've left off sequels or spin offs of spin offs.
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979) - Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (1979-1981)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992) - Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)
Clueless (1995) - Clueless (1996-1999)
